Review Quotes:
Endorsements The ROPES curriculum has empowered my students on the autism spectrum with the executive functioning and self-management skills needed to be successful in school both socially and academically. The curriculum is practical, accessible, and created with the "real world" in mind. It has equipped my students with the ability to generalize their skills to become independent and productive members of their community. The material is easily differentiated for a variety of age ranges and abilities and beneficial for teachers and parents alike looking to prepare their students and loved ones for daily life.
